My guess, not proficient shooter.
Three times to target acquisition, when target is reasonably stationary higher than potential backstop friendlies and a ten inch melon target at less than ten feet.
He also didn’t have a solid shooting stance.
Anticipated recoil fear and shot low, into neck, when aiming for head.
Also, muzzle flip was far greater than for a proficient shooter comfortable with his pistol. Limp wristed it...probably a FTE/stovepipe too with that wrist.
Ten inch target, less than ten feet (more like six to seven) when pistol is already drawn is indicative of a complete federal firearms qualification fail.

Either a low PPC qual LEO, a rookie, or more probably a non-sworn with little to no range time and training with that pistol.

But just my view...

My guess is the shooter is a congressional assistant or bureaucrat of some sort and a concealed carry permit holder who never bothers with range time. He’s allowed to conceal carry into the Capitol building (and probably on aircraft, too), but they raise hell when a Republican permit holder wants to.

Excellent viewpoints.

Something bugs me.... In a climate controlled building...

Why was he wearing gloves... Throw away traces of powder residue?

They were pretty heavy duty for shooters gloves, more like personal style, good leather.

Just an observation.

Respects
